Domestic violence refers to violent behavior committed by one member of an intimate relationship on another. In Utah, the criminal definition of domestic violence is a crime involving two "cohabitants." A cohabitant can be a person's spouse, but many other types of relationships and living situations involve what Utah calls cohabitation, including "living together," and having shared children, among others. In UT, a domestic violence charge can come as a surprise, carrying stiff and scary penalties. If you are facing domestic violence charges in the Salt Lake City area or throughout Utah, you should contact a criminal defense attorney to make sure that your rights are protected.

Branson was able to score me a great deal with the state that allows my two felonies and misdeamenor(all of my charges) to be dismissed. Being 21 years old and just starting a family and a career, the degree of these charges couldve easily had a substantial negative impact on my life. This has been nothing short of a miracle, and I will forever be grateful for this chance I was given with help of a skilled and competent attorney. If you're browsing through reviews looking for an attorney--look no more, this is definitely your guy. Very knowledgeable in law, good communication, and answers all requests. He pushed to get me a better plea agreement than what was offered and in the end made it happen. I couldn't be any happier. Thank you Branson!
